Abstract
The Dnieper River basin in Belarus was studied in 2016-2019. In total, 201 species and forms of macro-zoobenthos were found and 146 of them were identified to the species level. New habitats of several protected species (Unio crassus Philipsson, 1788, Anax imperator Leach, 1815, Ophiogomphus cecilia (Fourcroy, 1785) and Gomphus flavipes Char-pentier, 1825) and one alien species (Paramysis lacustris (Czerniavsky, 1882)) have been recorded in Belarus.
